The oldest parts of this former power station date back to the eve of the First World War. The building we visited for this report, however, is an extension constructed around 1929. This building, originally the power station's engine room, was later partially converted into a museum. The museum operated from 1986 to 2000 but closed after Electrabel decided to stop investing in it.

The collection includes four Brown Boveri turbines, which were effectively part of the production process at this power station. Another notable item from the museum's collection is a compound steam engine (750 kV), built around 1912 in the VD Kerchove workshops in Ghent. This impressive machine generated electricity and powered the refrigeration system at the Haacht brewery.

The ground floor houses the water treatment room for the turbines. This room houses, among other things, the main circulation pump with a flow rate of 390 m³/h, the condensers for the four turbines, and the original system through which the first steam was supplied.
